UNSPSC 85516127: Replacement of left femoral artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left femoral artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 04RL47Z

UNSPSC 85516127, Replacement of left femoral artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with vascular surgery services. Instead, the opportunities posted show no meaningful connection to the code's stated medical procedure — they encompass disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical benefits carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing. This mismatch suggests either a coding error in the underlying procurement database or that the code has been misapplied to administrative health services and staffing functions that fall outside surgical vascular procedures. The issuing bodies span a mix of city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County, Santa Clara County), and county benefits administration (Collier County), reflecting the broad institutional base of public-sector health procurement but no coherent buying pattern under the stated commodity scope.

Geographically, recent activity appears across the West and South — Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington — with no apparent concentration or repeat buyers pursuing work consistent with vascular surgical replacement services. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) managing disability claims for public safety pension boards; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid on August 31); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows limited relevance to active state and local procurement and warrants verification against actual commodity taxonomy before pursuing opportunities under this classification.
